I'm going to sing to a friend
Voy a cantarle a un amigo
who never demands from me
que nunca me exige
because faithful to me
porque fiel a mi
without asking for anything
sin perdirme nada
Today I want with this my song
Hoy quiero con este mi canto
to exalt his nobility
realzar su nobleza
I say it from the heart
lo digo de corazón
and in his presence
y en su presencia
Because in those moments
Porque en aquellos momentos
most critical of my life
mas criticos de mi vida
he has been my hope
el ha sido mi esperanza
like God
que como Dios
he is my guide
el es mi guíaaa
My bass and I,
Mi bajo y yo,
we are two, in one
somos dos, en uno
my bass and I,!
mi bajo y yo,!
but my bass and I
pero mi bajo y yo
we are like brothers
somos como hermanos
my bass and I
mi bajo y yo
So many intrigues I've suffered
Son tantas las intrigas que he sufrido
and always by my side, my faithful friend
y a mi lado siempre firme mi fiel amigo
Because he has always shown me
Porque siempre me ha demostrado
the loyalty I've sought in him
la lealtad que en el he buscado
I've found by my side
he encontrado en el a mi lado
my bass and I
mi bajo y yo
Those who criticize me
Aquellos que me critican
are witnesses
testigos son
that with the best wood
que con la mejor madera
the cane is made
se hace el baston
Yet they've ignored
Sin embargo lo han ignorado
my great ally is made of wood
de madera es mi gran aliado
with him I've never failed
yo con el nunca he fracasado
my bass and I
mi bajo yo
sababababararapapa
sababababararapapa
I'm starting by telling you one thing
Voy comenzando por decirte una cosa
that's my friend
ese es mi amigo
that skinny big-bellied one
ese flaco barrigon
with 4 strings is my friend
con 4 cuerdas es mi amigo
and I and I follow that path
y yo y yo por ese camino sigo
always always has been
siempre siempre ha sido
my witness
mi testigo
and those who out of spite
y aquellos que por maldad
mess with me
se meten conmigo
